ABOUT THE EVENT: Film composer and organist Clark Wilson will recreate the silent movie experience with “The Phantom of the Opera” on the newly refurbished “Mighty Wurlitzer” pipe organ in Stoneham Town Hall. As organists and piano players across America once did, he will supply all the sound effects and music for the classic 1925 silent film starring Lon Chaney.

Wilson is the resident organist at the Columbus Theatre in Ohio. The organ, featured on the National Register of Historic Instruments, is the only theater organ in a town hall in America.
